Starcamp Halloween Camp in Carlow Town

What to Expect

Starcamp, the nationwide children’s activity camp brand that also runs a summer programme in Tullow, brings its Halloween camp to Carlow town over the October midterm break. The four-day camp runs from Tuesday to Friday of midterm week, when primary and secondary schools across Ireland close for the Halloween break, and splits children into two age bands: Starcamp for 4 to 7 year olds and Starcrew for 8 year olds and up. Days combine drama games, arts and crafts and seasonal Halloween activities, run by Starcamp’s trained camp leaders, with an optional early drop-off from 8:45am for parents who need to be at work before 9am. It gives parents in Carlow town a structured, supervised option for the midterm week without having to take annual leave or arrange informal childcare, and sits alongside other holiday programmes such as Carlow Parent Hub’s Stepping Stones camps earlier in the year. Starcamp has run drama-led children’s camps since 2007 and now operates in more than 200 towns nationwide, including its established summer base in Tullow, so the Carlow midterm camp draws on the same trained camp-leader model rather than being a one-off local operation without a track record.
